SLAM Launches Trenching Program At Goodwin

Targeting Potential Extensions Of Historic Copper Nickel Zones

October 03, 2024 – TheNewswire – Miramichi, New Brunswick ‐ SLAM Exploration Ltd. (“SLAM” or the “Company”) (TSXV-SXL) announces that trenching is in progress on its wholly owned Goodwin Project located 35 kilometers south of the Caribou mine and mill complex in the Bathurst Mining Camp (“BMC”) of New Brunswick. The Company is planning to mobilize a drilling rig for the phase 2 drilling program around October 9.

Trenching Targets: The Company is testing the Granges, Farquharson and Logan zones as well as other targets.

The Granges Zone: SLAM intends to complete 4 trenches to test the strike extent of a 31.20 meter core interval grading 3.84% copper equivalent drilled in hole GW24-02.

The Farquharson Zone: SLAM is planning to dig 4 trenches to test for potential extensions of a 60.60 meter core interval grading 1.17% copper equivalent drilled in hole GW24-03 as reported August 12, 2024

The Logan Zone: The company plans a series of trenches to test for potential extensions to this historic copper nickel zone. A 6 meter core interval of massive sulphides with copper mineralization was reported in hole NO60-03 but assays were not included. Assays were reported for 7 later drill holes. Hole MM71-05B intersected a 16.95 meter core interval grading 0.37% copper and 0.44% nickel with individual core samples grading up to 0.72% copper and 1.05% nickel over 2.10 meters (these results predate NI43-101 regulations and can only be validated by additional drilling).

Other Targets: Other targets include untested soil geochemical anomalies, MegaTEM conductors and magnetic anomalies that occur in the vicinity of the 3 known copper nickel zones shown on the map below.

QA-QC Procedures: The Granges Zone and Farquharson Zone results described above were previously reported by SLAM in news releases dated between July 30, 2024 and August 12, 2024. The historic results from previous workers are derived from New Brunswick assessment files that predate NI43-101 regulations. They can only be validated by additional trenching and drilling.

The Company reported quartz float grading up to 39.2 g/t gold on its Jake Lee project in the vicinity of the Clarence Stream gold deposit where Galway Metals Inc. is working on a 2.3 M ounce gold deposit in southern New Brunswick.

The Company completed 3 diamond drill holes on the Goodwin copper nickel project in the BMC of New Brunswick. Highlights include a 60.60 meter core interval grading 1.17% copper equivalent in hole GW24-03, a 64.90 meter core interval grading 2.14% copper equivalent in hole GW24-02 and a 35 meter core interval grading 1.36% copper equivalent in hole GW24-01. Based on the drilling intercepts, the Company expanded the Goodwin Project which now comprises 194 units covering 4,239 hectares.

SLAM also owns the Mine Road copper zinc silver project adjacent to the former producing Heath Steele Mines property in the BMC. Successful diamond drill holes at Mine Road by previous workers include IL2014-003 with a 9-meter core interval grading 14.51% zinc, 5.86% lead, 0.67% copper and 139.9 g/t silver on the volcanogenic massive sulphide Railroad zone at Mine Road. (Doe Run Canadian Exploration ULC; 2015, New Brunswick Assessment Files, Report of Work 477877), The Railroad zone is 7,000 m east of the 20 million tonne former producing Heath Steele B Zone.

The Company is a project generator and has received significant cash and share payments over the last 9 months as follows; $150,000 cash and 50,000 shares from S2 Minerals Inc. (STWO) on December 19, 2023 pursuant to the Reserve Creek gold agreement; 534,000 shares and 333,000 warrants (exercisable at $0.01) issued by Nine Mile Metals Inc.
